did you have lowering springs on to begin with??  :undecided:

don't forget your car is lower than standard anyway so you may only see a 15-20mm drop  :sad:

have you made sure the springs are correctly seated in the strut ( i.e spring in it's cup) you should see a difference straight off but wont see full drop until settled. also are the strut's fully in the hubs so that the hook for the pinch bolt is correctly located?
